Fax BrandingThe Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission the following information:

(1) the date and time of transmission

(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message; and

(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68.

vii

Ringer Equivalence NumberThe Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

WARNING:FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:

a) promptly notify the customer.

b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

You should also know that:

• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with your machine.

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.

• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency number.

• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.

• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

• You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

Paper Handling3.1

3 Paper HandlingThis chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print materials and loading them into your machine.


• Selecting Print Materials

• Loading Paper

• Verifying an Output Location

Selecting Print MaterialsYou can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the tray.

• Weight: 16 ~ 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m2 bond) for the tray with multi-pages feeding, and 16 ~ 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m2 bond) for the manual tray and tray with single page feeding.

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

CAUTION: Using print materials that dose not conform to the specifications listed on page 10.2 may cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.

Paper Handling3.2

Guidelines for Paper and Special MaterialsWhen selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special material, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print quality.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may occur.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 oC and 30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be between 10 % and 70 %.

• During storage, you should use a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the manual tray or the tray to avoid paper jams.

• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

• For envelopes:

Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds.

Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together.

Do not feed stamped envelopes.

• For transparencies:

Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.

Do not leave them in the tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.

To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.

To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.

• For labels:

Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing temperature of 200 oC (392 o F) for 0.1 second.

Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between them. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.

Do not load a sheet of them through the machine more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the machine.

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.

Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:

Postcards, 3.5 x 5.8 in. (89 x 148 mm) cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer. The minimum size is 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm) and the maximum size is 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)

Always insert the short-edge into the tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.

Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or 5 in. (127 mm) long.

• For preprinted paper:

Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.

Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printer rollers.

Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.

• Do not use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of these types of paper could result in chemical smells and could damage your machine.

Paper Handling3.3

Loading PaperProper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Paper Type, Input Sources, and Capacities” on page 3.1 for acceptable paper size and capacity for the tray.

Using the TrayThe tray holds 150 sheets of paper.

Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.3.

To use the special material like envelope, label and card, remove the stack of plain paper and load one sheet of special material into the tray.

Using the Manual TrayWhen you print a document using your PC and want to check the print quality after each page is printed, load the paper in the manual tray and select Manual Feed for Source from the software application.

1 Load the print material in the tray with the print side up.

Push the print material firmly into the manual tray.2 Adjust the paper guide against the print material without

bending the material.3 Select Manual Feed for Source from the software

application, and then select the correct paper size and type. For details, see Software User’s Guide.

4 Operate printing.

5 The display shows “Add Paper & Press Start” then press Start on the machine to start feeding.

Printing is started. 6 If you have multiple pages to be printed, the display shows

“Add Paper & Press Start” again. Load the next sheet and press Start.

Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

NOTES: • When you print more than 20 envelopes in succession, print

speed may be reduced.• If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the

paper around and try again.• Manually loading paper and pressing Start to start feeding is

only available with PC printing.• Because the Manual Feed mode does not print jobs

automatically and continuously, incoming faxes are stored in memory instead of printing immediately. (Only for SCX-4521F)

• When you press Stop/Clear in the Manual Feed mode, the print job in progress is canceled.

Verifying an Output LocationThe machine has a paper output location which holds 50 sheets of paper. The output tray collects printed paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed.

NOTE: Pull the paper output extension not to drop the printed paper.

Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.

Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection at any time.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial your fax number from outside.

To set up the DRPD mode:

1 Press Menu until “Fax Setup” appears on the top line of the display.

2 Press the scroll button ( or ) until you see “Receive Mode” on the bottom line and press Enter.

3 Press the scroll button ( or ) until you see “DRPD Mode” on the bottom line and press Enter.

4 When “Set” displays on the bottom line, press Enter.

“Waiting Ring” appears on the display.5 Call your fax number from another telephone. It is not

necessary to place the call from a fax machine. 6 When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call.

The machine requires several rings to learn the pattern.

When the machine completes learning, the LCD displays “End DRPD Setup”.

If the DRPD setup fails, “DRPD Ring Error” appears. Press Enter when “DRPD Mode” displays and retry from step 3.


When the DRPD feature is set up, the DRPD option is available in the Receive Mode menu. To receive faxes in the DRPD mode, you need to set the menu to DRPD; see “DRPD Mode” on page 7.2.

NOTES:• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number,

or connect the machine to another telephone line.• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to

verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack.

Receiving Faxes in the MemorySince your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores incoming faxes in memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.

Maintenance8.2

Setting the Machine to be Checked by Phone

(Only for SCX-4521F)

The Remote Test feature allows your machine to be checked out by a service company at a remote place by phone.


2 Press the scroll button ( or ) until you see “Remote Test” on the bottom line and press Enter.

3 Press the scroll button ( or ) to change the setting.

Select “On” to enable this feature. Selecting “Off” protects your machine from being accessed by unauthorized people.



Cleaning Your MachineTo maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.

CAUTIONS: • Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

Cleaning the OutsideClean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.

Cleaning the InsideDuring the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.

1 Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to cool down.


3 Pull the toner cartridge out, lightly pushing it down. Set it on a clean flat surface.

CAUTIONS: • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it

to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.

• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

4 Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.

Maintenance8.3

5 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

CAUTION: Do not touch the black transfer roller inside the machine.

6 Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white cotton black.

7 Reinsert the manual tray, toner cartridge and close the door.

8 Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.

Cleaning the Scan UnitKeeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the day, as needed.

1 Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.

2 Open the document cover.

3 Wipe the surface of the document glass and ADF glass until it is clean and dry.

4 Wipe the underside of the white document cover and white bar until it is clean and dry.


Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner cartridge storageTo get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.

Saving tonerTo save toner, press the Toner Save button on the control panel; see “Toner Save Mode” on page 2.11. The button backlight turns on. Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

Expected Cartridge LifeThe life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Maintenance8.4

Redistributing TonerWhen the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “[Toner Low]”. You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after you have redistributed the toner.


2 Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.

3 Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to redistribute the toner.

NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

4 Reinstall the cartridge and close the front door. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed, printing error may occur when you print.

Replacing the Toner CartridgeWhen the display on the control panel shows the warning message, “[Toner Empty]” the toner cartridge has run out but continues printing. For the SCX-4521F, incoming faxes are saved in memory. At this stage, the toner cartridges needs to be replaced.

NOTE: You can set the machine to ignore the “[Toner Empty]” message and to continue printing incoming faxes. See “Ignoring the Toner Empty Message (Only for SCX-4521F)” on page 8.5.

Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See “Installing the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.2.

Setting the Notify Toner Option (Only for SCX-4521F)

If you set the Notify Toner menu option to “On”, your machine automatically sends a fax to your service company or the dealer to notify them. The fax number is preset by your dealer when you bought your machine.

Notification cases are like this:• When the toner cartridges is low.• When critical error occured at your machine.(Error cases: CRU Fuse Error, Low Heat Error, LSU Error.)

• When notification day and notification pages that are preset by your dealer have passed.


2 Press the scroll button ( or ) to display “Notify Toner ” on the bottom line and press Enter.

3 Enter a four-digit password you want to use, using the number keypad and press Enter.(If you select this menu, for the first time after purchasing or after clearing all memory, Re-enter the password to confirm it and press Enter.)

4 Press the scroll button ( or ) to change the setting.

Select “On” to enable this feature. Selecting “Off” disables this feature.



Maintenance8.5

Cleaning the DrumYou can clean the OPC drum of the toner cartridge manually or automatically.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.

• If you use inferior quality paper; see “Cleaning the Drum” on page 8.5.





Background scatter

Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a

different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or the printer properties.

Misformed characters

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. For service, contact a service representative.

Scanning Problems

Fax Problems (Only for SCX-4521F)


The scanner does not work.

• Make sure that you place the document to be scanned face down on the document glass, or face up in the Automatic Document Feeder.

• There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate.

• Check that the USB or parallel cable is connected properly.

• Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not defective. Switch the cable with a known good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

• If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is compliant with IEEE 1284 standards.

• Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check scan setting in the SmarThru Configuration or the application you want to use to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port, for example, LPT1.

The unit scans very slowly.

• Check if the machine is printing received data. If so, scan the document after the received data has been printed.

• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.• Communication speed slows in scan mode because

of the large amount of memory required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image. Set your computer to the ECP printer mode through BIOS setting. It will help to increase the speed. For details about how to set BIOS, refer to your computer User’s Guide.


The machine is not working, there is no display and the buttons are not working.

• Unplug the power cord and plug it in again. • Ensure that there is power to the electrical outlet.

No dial tone sounds. • Check that the phone line is connected properly.• Check that the phone socket in the wall is working

by plugging in another phone.

The numbers stored in memory do not dial correctly.

Make sure that the numbers are stored in memory correctly. Print a Phonebook list, referring to “Phonebook List” on page 7.13.

The document does not feed into the machine.

• Make sure that the document is not wrinkled and you are putting it in correctly. Check that the document is the right size, not too thick or thin.

• Make sure that the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) cover is firmly closed.

Faxes are not received automatically.

• Fax mode should be selected. • Make sure that there is paper in the tray.• Check to see if the display shows “Memory Full”.

The machine does not send.

• Make sure that the document is loaded in the ADF or on the document glass.

• “TX” should show up on the display. • Check the fax machine you are sending to, to see

if it can receive your fax.

The incoming fax has blank spaces or is of poor-quality.

• The fax machine sending you the fax may be faulty.

• A noisy phone line can cause line errors. • Check your machine by making a copy. • The toner cartridge may be empty. Replace the

toner cartridge, referring to “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.

Some of the words on an incoming fax are stretched.

The fax machine sending you the fax had a temporary document jam.

There are lines on the documents you send.

Check your scanning glass for marks and clean it. See “Cleaning the Scan Unit” on page 8.3.

The machine dials a number, but a connection with the other fax machine fails.

The other fax machine may be turned off, out of paper, or cannot answer incoming calls. Speak with the other machine operator and ask her/him to sort out the problem.

Documents are not stored in memory.

There may not be enough memory to store the document. If the display shows a “Memory Full” message, delete from memory any documents you no longer need and then try again to store the document.

Blank areas appear at the bottom of each page or on other pages, with a small strip of text at the top.

You may have chosen the wrong paper settings in the user option setting. For details about paper settings, see “Setting the Paper Size and Type” on page 2.10.


Troubleshooting9.12

Common Linux ProblemsProblem Possible Cause and Solution

The machine doesn’t print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when MFP port is claimed by a scanning application.

• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. You should open MFP ports configuration and select the port assigned to your printer. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present owner is not functioning properly.

Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.

The machine doesn’t appear on the scanners list.

• Check if your machine is attached to your computer. Make sure that it is connected properly via the USB port and is turned on.

• Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in your system. Open MFP Configurator, switch to Scanners configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the window.

To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. This can usually happen while starting scan procedure, and appropriate message box displays. To identify the source of the problem, you should open MFP ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. MFP port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present port's owner is not functioning properly.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

Troubleshooting9.13

I can’t print when I installed both Linux Print Package (LPP) and MFP driver on the same machine simultaneously.

• Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make a symbolic link to “lpr” printing command, which is commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to use both package on the same machine.

• If you still want to use both packages simultaneously, please install the LPP first.

• If you want to uninstall only one of them, please uninstall both packages and install that one you want to use again.

• If you don’t want to uninstall MFP driver and install it again, you may make the necessary symbolic link yourself. Please, log in as root user and invoke the following command:

ln -sf /usr/local/bin/samsung/slpr /usr/bin/lpr

Can’t scan via Gimp Front-end.

• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane:Device dialog..” on the “Acquire” menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. For the detail information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application.

If you wish to use other kind of scan application, refer to the Help for application.

I encounter error “Cannot open MFP port device file” when printing a document.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR utility, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Linux MFP driver locks MFP port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to release the MFP port.

*. The machine supports a wide range of media sizes. See “Paper Type, Input Sources, and Capacities” on page 3.1

**.Capacity may differ depending on media weight, thickness, and environmental conditions.

Guidelines for Using PaperFor the best result, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m2 bond) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.

If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.

The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the machine:

NOTES: • Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature

inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the

paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).

Symptom Problem with Paper Solution

Poor print quality or toner adhesion, problems with feeding

Too moist, too rough, too smooth or embossed; faulty paper lot

Try another kind of paper, between 100 ~ 400 Sheffield, 4 ~ 5 % moisture content.

Dropout, jamming, curl

Stored improperlyStore paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping.

Increased gray background shading/printer wear

Too heavy Use lighter paper.

Excessive curl problems with feeding

Too moist, wrong grain direction or short-grain construction

Use long-grain paper.

Jamming, damage to machine

Cutouts or perforationsDo not use paper with cutouts or perforations.

Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper.

Specifications10.5

Paper Specifications

Paper Output Capacity

Paper Storage EnvironmentPaper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.

Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.

Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

Category Specifications

Acid content 5.5 pH or lower

Caliper 3.0 ~ 7.0 mils (0.094 ~ 0.18 mm)

Curl in ream Flat within 0.02 in. (5 mm)

Cut edge conditions Cut with sharp blades with no visible fray.

Fusing compatibilityMust not scorch, melt, offset or release hazardous emissions when heated to 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.

Grain Long grain

Moisture content 4 % ~ 6 % by weight

Smoothness 100 ~ 400 Sheffield

Output Location Capacity

Face-down output tray 50 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2 bond) paper

The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the paper’s storage environment:

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

• The air should not be too dry or too humid.

• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

EnvelopesEnvelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 20 lb (75 g/m2 bond) or jamming may occur.

• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 0.25 in. (6 mm) curl, and should not contain air.

• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked or otherwise damaged.

• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the machine.

• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.

NOTES:• Load only one sheet of paper at a time to print envelopes.• You may experience some paper jams when using any media

with a length less than 5.5 in. (140 mm). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.5.

Minimum Maximum

3 x 5 in.(76 x 127 mm)

8.5 x 14 in.(216 x 356 mm)

Specifications10.6

Envelopes with Double Side SeamsDouble side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.

Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or FlapsEnvelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the machine. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even damage the fuser.

Envelope MarginsThe following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.

NOTES:• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than

0.6 in. (15 mm) from the edges of the envelope.• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams

meet.

Envelope StorageProper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing.

Correct

Incorrect

Type of Address Minimum Maximum

Return address 0.6 in. (15 mm) 2 in. (51 mm)

Delivery address 2 in. (51 mm) 3.5 in. (90 mm)

Labels

CAUTIONS: • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

recommended for laser printers.• To prevent serious jams, always load one sheet of paper at a

time to print labels.• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and

never print on a partial sheet of labels.

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 5 in. (13 mm) of curl in any direction.

• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or other indications of separation.

TransparenciesTransparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page OverlayTo use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

1 Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.

2 To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 7.

3 Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay section.

Using Your Printer in Linux26

7 Using Your Printer in Linux You can use your machine in a Linux environment.


• Getting Started

• Installing the MFP Driver

• Using the MFP Configurator

• Configuring Printer Properties


• Scanning a Document

Getting StartedThe supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s MFP driver package for using your machine with a Linux computer.

Samsung’s MFP driver package contains printer and scanner drivers, providing the ability to print documents and scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring your machine and further processing of the scanned documents.

After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of MFP devices via fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or transferred to an external OCR system.

The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You don't need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.

Using the MFP ConfiguratorMFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring MFP devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and scanner, the MFP Configurator provides options logically grouped for printer and scanner functions. There is also a special MFP port option responsible for the regulation of access to an MFP printer and scanner via a single I/O channel.

After installing the MFP driver (see page 26), the MFP Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.

Opening the MFP Configurator1 Double-click MFP Configurator on the desktop.

You can also click the Startup Menu icon and select Samsung MFP and then MFP Configurator.

• Refresh : Renews the available ports list.

• Release port : Releases the selected port.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and ScannersYour machine may be connected to a host computer via the parallel port or USB port. Since the MFP device contains more than one device (printer and scanner), it is necessary to organize proper access of “consumer” applications to these devices via the single I/O port.

The Samsung MFP driver package provides an appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called MFP ports. The current status of any MFP port can be viewed via the MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while another block is in use.

When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an MFP Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose I/O port for the new device. This choice will provide the most suitable configuration for MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper settings are applied by default.
